Bird's-Eye View of Mt. Hood

I was sitting by the window on my way home from Portland, Oregon, paying attention only to my Kindle when suddenly I saw Mt. Hood right next to me! I whipped out my camera and took this photo, then I noticed two more mountains behind it! Mt. St. Helens and (to the left, on the horizon) Mt. Rainier. I don't see mountains very often, so this is a big deal. Do you ever get tired of looking at moountains?

Never! That's why I love living in B.C. We took our kids to the Mt. St. Helen's interpretive centre this summer on the way home from a visit to Portland. It's a great stop. I even climbed to the top of Mt. St. Helen's 15 years ago with a group of 12 Girl Guides. That was epic!

I love mountains and I miss them very much living in Ohio. I will retire somewhere with a mountain view. I used to see Hood a lot living near Portland and while living in Japan Fuji was an amazing thing to see.

I live near Mount Baker--you can't see it, it's the next one in line north of Rainier--and, no, I don't ever get tired of them! It's a joyful thing to get the view you got from the plane, though--it takes the very most right weather conditions and just the right seat. Lucky you!
